  • Publication number: 20120187559
    Abstract: An interconnect pad is formed over a first substrate. A photoresist layer is formed over the first substrate and interconnect pad. A portion of the photoresist layer is removed to form a channel and expose a perimeter of the interconnect pad while leaving the photoresist layer covering a central area of the interconnect pad. A first conductive material is deposited in the channel of the photoresist layer to form a column of conductive material. The remainder of the photoresist layer is removed. A masking layer is formed around the column of conductive material while exposing the interconnect pad within the column of conductive material. A second conductive material is deposited over the first conductive layer. The second conductive material extends above the column of conductive material. The masking layer is removed. The second conductive material is reflowed to form a column interconnect structure over the semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 8216930
    Abstract: A flip chip interconnect has a tapering interconnect structure, and the area of contact of the interconnect structure with the site on the substrate metallization is less than the area of contact of the interconnect structure with the die pad. A solder mask has an opening over the interconnect site, and the solder mask makes contact with the interconnect structure, or is in close proximity to the interconnect structure, at the margin of the opening. The flip chip interconnect is provided with an underfill. During the underfill process, the contact (or near proximity) of the solder mask with the interconnect structure interferes with flow of the underfill material toward the substrate adjacent the site, resulting in formation of a void left unfilled by the underfill, adjacent the contact of the interconnect structure with the site on the substrate metallization. The void can help provide relief from strain induced by changes in temperature of the system.

  • Publication number: 20120133043
    Abstract: A flip chip interconnect has a tapering interconnect structure, and the area of contact of the interconnect structure with the site on the substrate metallization is less than the area of contact of the interconnect structure with the die pad. Also, a bond-on-lead or bond-on-narrow pad or bond on a small area of a contact pad interconnection includes such tapering flip chip interconnects. Also, methods for making the interconnect structure include providing a die having interconnect pads, providing a substrate having interconnect sites on a patterned conductive layer, providing a bump on a die pad, providing a fusible electrically conductive material either at the interconnect site or on the bump, mating the bump to the interconnect site, and heating to melt the fusible material.

  • Patent number: 7875495
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is made by disposing a film layer over a substrate having first conductive layer. An opening is formed in the film layer to expose the first conductive layer. A second conductive layer is formed over the first conductive layer. A first bump is formed over the second conductive layer which promotes reflow of the first bump at a eutectic temperature. A standoff bump is formed on the film layer around a perimeter of the substrate. The film layer prevents reflow of the standoff bump at the eutectic temperature. A second bump is disposed between a semiconductor die and the first bump. The second bump is reflowed to electrically connect the semiconductor die to the first bump. After reflow of the second bump, the standoff bump has a height at least 70% of the second bump prior to reflow to maintain separation between the semiconductor die and substrate.
